Which of the following PHP code snippets will cause a syntax error due to incorrect string interpolation?
Aecho "Your score is {$score}";
Becho "Price is $price$";
Cecho "Value: $value[0]";
Decho "Hello, $name!";
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze each option for syntax correctness

    Options B, C, and D use valid interpolation syntax. echo "Price is $price$";: echo "Price is $price$"; ends with a dollar sign immediately after variable, causing confusion.
  2. Step 2: Understand why echo "Price is $price$"; fails

    PHP expects variable name after $, so "$price$" is invalid syntax.
  3. Final Answer:

    echo "Price is $price$"; -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Invalid variable syntax = syntax error [OK]
Quick Trick: Avoid placing $ immediately after variable without braces [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Appending characters directly after variable without braces
  • Misusing array syntax inside strings
  • Forgetting to close quotes
